I'm new round here so excuse me if it has been done, but other forums I post on will often have a 'post a picture of yourself' thread. I'm not even sure how you post a picture yet but I thought it would be fun. I have loads on Instagram though!

No. This is MN, we don't do things like that, it's just not that kind of place.

So when the Fail pick up on a thread they can publish it along with a photo? I''d rather disembowel myself personally.

MarshaBradyo · 05/12/2018 14:08

Instagram / FB are better for that

Rainbowlia · 05/12/2018 14:09

What is fun about a thread full of photos of random people?

edwinbear · 05/12/2018 14:10

But here you are.....

I'm sorry but you can't post pictures on MN until you have been a member for long enough so you probably won't be able to.

Why in the world would I want people to 'comment on me'? I don't need random people giving me false compliments to fulfil me. Perhaps you're on the wrong site...

RtHonLady · 05/12/2018 14:18

But why would we want to comment on each other?

I'm sure you look gorgeous, Hun. Now off you pop to NM.

shiveringtimber · 05/12/2018 14:20

There's always the annual "share your Christmas tree" thread...

Why would I want some stranger on the internet to "comment" on me? I have eyes and a mirror.

Comment what, precisely?

‘Oh yes, you look like a human stranger. Very normal, well done’. Or are we meant to be more critical? ‘Oh dear, you look like a boil on Noel Edmonds arse, you poor buggar, have you considered a large paper bag?’.

RebootYourEngine · 05/12/2018 14:24

Comment on each other 🤔 yeah ok then.

Pinkyyy · 05/12/2018 14:26

Someone please comment on me so I can feel like I'm bathing in compliments from random strangers!

Hmm

I was on a forum a long time ago that had very few men. One of the most prolific ones had a 'good idea' once. The women were to post pictures of themselves for him to judge who was the best looking. A fair few people actually posted photos!

Fashionista101 · 05/12/2018 14:46

😂😂😂😂👏

Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhh · 05/12/2018 14:50

In other words you want everyone to say how beautiful you look.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 05/12/2018 14:51

Oh dear OP.

IhateBoswell · 05/12/2018 14:51

There actually has been a thread where posters have put their pictures up.

They’re a bad idea though, you could get a right bitch putting one up of a woman she doesn’t like so she gets trashed.

Bad idea glamgrangirl.

claraschu · 05/12/2018 14:55

People used to have profiles if they wanted to, often with pictures. Does that still exist?

palooka47 · 05/12/2018 14:55

People have posted up photos of their outfits on the style and beauty boards. I quite liked that as I'm a frump and it was good to get inspiration, maybe start one there? (Usually the photos were 'sans head, though).

CoughLaughFart · 05/12/2018 15:03

To be honest I get enough comments in real life. I quite like being faceless here.

KlutzyDraconequus · 05/12/2018 15:09

Some sad people judge their worth by how many likes their Instagram pictures get.
It's very shallow and self destructive imo.
To try and carry that over to MN where anonymity is treasured is a silly thing to do.

Plus, OP you could easily be a pervy little sad man looking for wank fodder after pulling himself sore on PH.
